Abu Ghraib & Gitmo,
Plamegate,
CIA secret renditions,
politicizing science,

$8 billion in $100 bills airlifted on pallets to Iraq that vanished without a trace,
the torture provisions of the Geneva Conventions trashed,
tasering students in university libraries and the rise of SWAT police,
Orwellian "free speech zones,"
